Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Central next week, buzzing to finally explore Hong Kong Island. I've read tons about the skyscrapers and the shopping, but I'm more interested in the smaller stuff – the hidden litt… more
Check out the area around Hollywood Road. It's got some seriously cool antique shops, but wander down the side streets and you'll find all sorts of tucked-away places. There are some killer little dai pai dongs (street food stalls) hiding in there, too – often only open at night. Also, poke around near Man Mo Temple; the streets behind it are a maze of tiny shops and eateries, super atmospheric, especially in the evenings. You'll probably need to just get lost a bit to find the best stuff, but that's half the fun! Prepare to be amazed.
That's awesome, thanks! Hollywood Road sounds perfect, I love antique shops. And street food stalls at night? Even better. I'm definitely going to get properly lost – sounds like a plan. I’ll report back with my findings and maybe some pictures…if I can find my way back!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
